As far as I am aware the British and US Sherman's where the same. Camouflage being the only obvious difference. 


The "rat" is the mark of the "8th Army" the desert rats. Most of their action was in Africa then on through to Italy. North Africa saw them in desert Camouflage and as they moved up through Italy this was changed, at field level to European camo. There where some very interesting schemes.

Sorry Ian, but the Desert Rats were the 7th Armoured Brigade
